Kate Moss wraps up warm for winter after nude pic fetches £16,250

Kate Moss was in no hurry to catch a winter chill while inspecting her new house in Hampstead. The supermodel donned a fluffy fur and some two-tone winter boots as she arrived at the property. But, while these pictures will likely never turn up at auction, a nude limited edition print image of La Moss fetched £16,250 when it went under the hammer at Bonhams.

Kate Moss keeps warm in winter-wear but this nude pic was worth £16,250Albert Watson's image of Kate Moss titled Marrakesh. Photo courtesy of BonhamsThe image - part of a photoshoot for German Vogue taken by Albert Watson - dates from January 1993 and shows the young Moss naked against a plain fabric backdrop on a rooftop in Marrakesh.

According to the photographer: "I still think these are among the best pictures ever taken of her and she said so as well recently." Looks like at least one private buyer was in agreement as he or she parted with £16,250 (the auction price plus buyer's premium) to obtain the iconic print.

It's rather a stark contrast with her current look, but then again it is London in the middle of November...
